PVC-U Rainwater Systems
INTRODUCTION
FloPlast, a name synonymous with high quality PVC-U roofline products for new build and home improvement projects, with its wide range of rainwater systems, cellular foam and rigid PVC-U building profiles.
FloPlast rainwater systems offer a wide choice of profile design, both traditional and modern, in a range of colours to suit all tastes and applications.
The FloPlast reputation for technical excellence, competitively priced and quality finished products have established the company as a leading supplier of PVC-U Plastic Building products.
Standards/Quality ControlFloPlast operations embrace quality and environment management systems which have been accredited by BSI to BS EN ISO 9001:2008 Certificate No. FM 501414, BS EN ISO 14001:2004 Certificate No. EMS 538445 and BS ENISO 18001:2007 Certificate No. OHS 593622.
All products are subject to continuous quality control procedures and products manufactured to British Standard Specifications are marked accordingly.
System Features
z Gutters, pipes and fittings manufactured in PVC-U, a material which is not easily ignitable and will not support combustion. All products comply with the material requirements of:
BS EN 12200 1:2000, BS EN 1329-1:2014 and BS 1453-1:2000 (downpipes and fittings)
BS EN 607:2004 (gutters and fittings)
BS EN 1462:2004 (eaves brackets)
FloPlast Rainwater Systems have been rigorously tested by The British Standards Institute and have been awarded their prestigious Kitemark. License No. KM 501316.
z Suitable for all types of buildings including domestic, commercial and industrial.
z Practical rainwater handling systems which, unlike metal systems, do not conduct lightning.
z Components have a consistent self-finish and colour and are essentially maintenance free.
z Tough and durable, yet lightweight for ease of installation, they will withstand normal ladder weight.
z High gloss finish with blemish free surface providing excellent all round weathering and colour fastness.
z Comprehensive range of systems, colours and fittings to provide solutions to all installation requirements.
z All large fittings are packaged individually to protect their surface from scratch marks.
z Cost effective solution to rainwater collection and drainage.
z Well defined stylish contours ensure a seamless match with the architecture of all properties, new or old.

INSTALLATION FEATURES
Specification, Technical Advice and Design
An advisory service is available to offer technical assistance regarding product selection and installation. Those associated with the building industry can take advantage of design services provided by the company for customers who have made a commitment to use or specify FloPlast products.
z Wrap around retaining clip on the majority of gutter fittings allows a fast positive joint to be made. Clips are easily removed should any adjustments be required during installation of the gutter system, making the system very user friendly. It also facilitates dismantling and re-assembly of the gutter system during any period of property maintenance.
z Extended gutter unions, with extra wide seals designed to eliminate the “roll-over” effect from gutter movement from thermal expansion and contraction, whilst still maintaining a watertight seal.
z All gutter fittings have positioning guide marks to allow for thermal expansion and contraction.
z Hoppers, running and stopend outlets are designed to accept sockets or plain-ended downpipe.
z Running and stopend outlets have twin fixing holes and fascia brackets offer a choice of single or twin screw fixing.

ApplicationsFloPlast Rainwater Systems are suitable for all applications and types of building, including domestic, commercial and industrial.
CompositionAll products are manufactured from unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) and comply with the material requirements of either BS EN 12200-1:2000, BS EN 607:2004 or BS EN 1462:2004 as relevant.
Rainwater gutters and pipes are manufactured by a continuous extrusion process. Fittings are produced on high-pressure injection moulding machines. All fittings are manufactured to close tolerances allowing accurate incorporation of design features.
AccreditationAll of our profiles are manufactured to BS EN 607:2004 (Gutters and fittings) BS EN 12200-1:2000, BS EN 1329-1:2014 and BS 1453-1:2000 (Downpipes and fittings) BS EN 1462:2004 (Gutter brackets) within a quality management system assessed and registered by British Standards as meeting the requirements of BS EN ISO 9001:2000 (Certificate Number FM:501414).
SupplyProducts are available from a national network of distributors and stockists. For details of your local stockist contact our Sales Office.
Specification, Technical Advice and Design Guidance A free advisory service is available to offer technical assistance regarding product and installation details. Those involved with the building industry may take advantage of design services provided by the company for customers who have made a commitment to use or specify FloPlast products.
Installation1. Plan your installation using the component diagrams to
assist you in selecting the correct type and quantity of products required.
z Fascia brackets should be spaced at a maximum of one metre apart on straight gutter runs. (800mm in the case of the Niagara system, 600mm in the case of the Xtraflo system). When using 80mm Round Downpipe with Hi-Cap and Niagara Systems, fascia brackets should be spaced at a maximum of 800mm intervals. In areas where there is the possibility of high levels of snowfall, fascia brackets should be spaced at a
maximum of 400mm centres. For further information, view our snow loading statement on page 26.
z Angles and stopends should have a fascia bracket within 150mm of the fitting.
z A supporting pipe clip should be used on shoes, branches and bends where necessary.
z Support downpipes below offset and at maximum intervals of 1.8 metres.
2. Where necessary remove the old gutter and replace old fascia board with FloPlast low maintenance PVC-UE co-extruded fascia board.
3. Establish the position of the running outlet, usually over an existing drain, and fix securely to fascia board.
4. Fix a fascia bracket 100mm short of furthest point from the outlet. Allow for a fall to the outlet (1:350 is recommended) using a string line.
5. Fixings: z Fix fascia and union brackets at required intervals.
Fascia brackets should be positioned so as to avoid the fixing screws splitting the top edge of any timber fascia board. All brackets should be secured to the fascia board with two 25mm x 5mm (1” x 10) screws or one 40mm x 5mm (1½“ x 10) screw. The “Cast Iron” fascia brackets must have two fixings.
z Unions should be fixed using a 25mm x 5mm (1” x 10) screw.
z Outlets and Angles should be fixed using two 25mm x 5mm (1” x 10) screws.
z In areas of heavy snowfall it is recommended that each fascia bracket is secured using two 25mm x 5mm (1” x 10) screws.
z Rainwater downpipe clips should be fixed using two 40mm x 6mm (1½“ x 12) screws.
z Round head screws are the recommended style of screw, however counter sunk can be used as long as care is taken not to overtighten, particularly when using power tools.
6. Lubricate all gutter seals with FloPlast silicone spray lubricant to ensure an easy fit and to allow for movement caused by expansion and contraction.
7. Working from the running outlet insert the back edge of the gutter under the retaining lip of the wrap around clip. Using slight downward pressure on the gutter snap the front edge of the retaining clip over the front of the gutter. (Ensure that the marked expansion allowance is kept.)
www.floplast.co.uk
8. Use a union bracket or angle to join to next gutter length in order to build up a gutter run. Use a stopend to complete the run.
9. Downpipe installation starts at the outlet. If an offset is required use two offset bends with or without a short piece of pipe, alternatively use an adjustable offset bend. Ensure a 6mm gap is left at the top of the downpipe for expansion.
Pipe connectors if required should be secured to the wall with a pipe clip.
At the base of the pipe, fit a shoe secured with a pipe clip or connect downpipe to underground drainage system using a 110mm x 68mm reducer (SP96/D96 or D97). Capacity of DrainageTo select the gutter size appropriate to your requirements, two factors must be taken into consideration.
z Roof Area z Gutter Flow Capacity
For further reference refer to BS 12056-3:2000 “Roof Drainage Layout and Calculation”.
The capacity of a drainage system should be large enough to carry the expected flow at any point in the system. The flow of ‘run-off’ depends upon the area to be drained, (the ‘effective roof area’), and the intensity of rainfall. It is accepted that 75mm an hour is the intensity of rainfall in the United Kingdom. For further information, see the FloPlast “Gutter calculator” at: www.floplast.co.uk
Cleaning and MaintenanceAlthough PVCu rainwater systems are considered to be relatively maintenance-free it is important to clear gutter systems of fallen leaves and other debris at least once per year.
More frequent inspections may be necessary in areas of high pollution and where there are trees in the vicinity.
Inspection of the gutter and brackets is also advisable during and after periods of ice formation in the guttering system.
In some cases lighter coloured systems may require cleaning. Wash down with a solution of soapy warm water, in severe cases a non-abrasive kitchen cream cleaner should be used.
Roof AreaThe effective roof area can be calculated by using the following formula:(B + C
2 ) x length of Roof (A) =Area in M2
B = Half width of gable end or hip
C = Vertical measurement from eaves to apex
An alternative to the above method is the use of multiplication factors to establish effective roof cover.
Approved Document H of the Building Regulations shows the same method, although the options given below allow for greater accuracy of the effective roof area in m2.
Calculate the above using the following method: A x B x factors dependant on the angle of the roof pitch.
A
26
METHOD OF CALCULATING EFFECTIVE ROOF AREA
Roof Pitch 10° 12.5° 15° 17.5° 20° 22.5° 25° 27.5° 30° 32.5° 35° 37.5° 40° 42.5° 45° 47.5°
Factor 1.088 1.111 1.134 1.158 1.182 1.207 1.233 1.260 1.288 1.319 1.350 1.384 1.419 1.459 1.500 1.547
For roofs of 50° or more and walls, the factor of 1.600 should be used.
Snow slippage is particularly evident where smooth roofing materials such as slate have been installed. For additional security FloPlast strongly recommend the installation of Snow Guard (see page 5) which facilitates the retention of snow, allowing slow melt, rather than slippage. In areas where there is the possibility of high levels of snowfall, fascia brackets should be spaced at a maximum of 400mm centres.
Several factors can come into play with the performance of rainwater systems, installation, overhang and style of the roof system (tiles/slates), pitch of roof, North or South facing, above or below 100 metres above sea level.

The flow rates in the columns BS 12056 have been calculated in accordance with BS EN 12056-3: 2000 where 90% of full flow is used as a safety factor (freeboard).
A rainwater system is suitable in terms of performance as long as the carrying capacity of the chosen configuration exceeds the calculated run-off of rainwater from the roof.
www.floplast.co.uk
Design FactorsBuilding Regulations (Approved Document H) requirements.The provisions to meet the requirements of the Building regulations 2000 (2002) are set out in Approved document H part H3.
An alternative to this requirement, is to follow the relevant recommendations of BS EN12056-3:2000 Roof Drainage, Layout and Calculation.
This document gives very comprehensive information on the calculations/design of systems in a variety of situations, and should be referred to whenever large industrial type installations are envisaged or whenever particularly severe weather conditions are expected.
ExpansionTests have shown that expansion and contraction of gutter occurs during normal usage, and expansion tolerances are allowed for within our fittings.
Tests were conducted between -8ºC and +40ºC where an expansion of 14.63mm was experienced over a 4 metre length.These are obvious extremes, and under normal daily temperature fluctuations expansion and contraction will be in the region of 10mm per 4 metre length.
Carrying Capacities for GutterThe carrying capacity of gutters varies under differing conditions. The main variables are whether or not the gutter is fitted to a fall and whether the outlet is placed in the centre or at one end of the gutter run.
Gutter flow rates will vary according to the type and configuration of downpipe system being used, however downpipe sizing is not a normal design consideration, as the downpipe systems manufactured by FloPlast have flow capacities approximately ten times greater than the gutter systems they drain.
The carrying capacities in litres per second for gutters, taking into account the major variables, are specified in the performance table on page 27.

RAINWATER SYSTEMS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to fit my gutter with a gradient?FloPlast’s domestic eaves gutters, especially when fixed with a rafter bracket, should be fitted at a gradient no greater than 1:350 fall. The gradient should not be too steep, as this will cause an excessive gap between the lowest edge of the roof and the top of the gutter. Gutters fitted with a fall will have a higher drainage capacity, please refer to our flow rate calculator at www.floplast.co.uk or page 26/27 of this brochure.
How do I work out what flow rate is required?A flow rate calculator is available on our website at www.floplast.co.uk, alternatively please contact 01795 431731 to speak to our technical department.
How can I prevent leaves blocking my gutters?Use FloPlast GutterBrush. FloPlast also manufactures FloGuard, a non restrictive system which prevents both debris and leaves collecting on the inside of the gutters. Balloons are available, for added protection in the outlets.
Can FloPlast gutters be painted?FloPlast’s gutters are produced from PVC-u and are considered low or relatively maintenance free. It may be necessary from time to time to clean our lighter gutter systems. We recommend that a soapy warm water solution is used when cleaning - in severe cases a non-abrasive kitchen cream cleaner can be used.
If the gutter needs to be painted, the system should be cleaned, with a degreasing agent such as sugar soap. Once cleaned 2 coats of a good quality gloss paint should be applied. Avoid scouring or roughing the surface of the plastic as this will affect the final appearance of the painted product.
What capacity of water do your gutters hold?Please refer to our section on Flow Rates on page 27 for more information.
What are the maximum centres for gutter fascia brackets?In general, maximum centres should be 1m. However, different profiles and downpipe configurations present other design considerations. Please refer to our Installation Guide on page 25 or view our video installation guide at www.floplast.co.uk
Which screws should be used to secure fascia brackets to fascia boards?For 2 hole fixing use 25mm x 5mm non-ferrous round head screws 1 hole fixing use 32mm x 6.5mm non-ferrous round head screws.
How can “Cast Iron” Style gutters be connected to traditional cast iron?FloPlast have an extensive range of adaptors. Use the 2 piece adaptor RD5.
Where and how far apart should downpipe clips be?Downpipe clips should be placed below the sockets of offset bends, joints, branches and shoes, and at maximum intervals of 1.8 mtrs.
Do I need to allow for expansion on offsets?It is not necessary to make any allowance for expansion between offset bends.
How do I fit my downpipe into Underground Drainage?Please refer to our section on downpipe adaptors.
What brackets do I use when installing gutter directly to the rafters?The standard gutter bracket, bolts to the galvanised top, side and rise & fall rafter brackets.
How do I connect to a neighbour’s different gutter?FloPlast have a range of adaptors for most applications, please refer to our section on rainwater adaptors and compatibility table on page 29.

RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM
Rainwater harvesting works by taking the rain from roofs and filtering out leaves and debris, before storing the water underground in the main storage tank. The water is then pumped into the property to be used for non-drinking applications e.g. flushing toilets, washing machines and garden watering.
Water conservation is an issue facing all households, particularly in the South-East of England where there is less water available per person than in many Mediterranean countries.
Increased water usage through kitchen appliances, power showers, garden sprinklers and hoses, power jet washers for patio and car cleaning, means that on average we each use 150 litres of clean treated mains water per day. With inflation busting annual water price increases, the need to recycle water is an economic necessity for many households particularly for large ones on water meters.
StormSaver enables the household to recycle water which can potentially reduce annual water bills by up to 50%. In addition, StormSaver can form part of a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) for new build or retrofit developments and can contribute to surface water management and reducing flood risk.
You can also help the environment by reducing the demand for mains water for example, using rain water for garden use during the summer or whenever there are water restrictions.
Benefits of using StormSaver:
z Reuse rainwater effectively.
z Uses over 75% less energy.
z Flow Rate of 10 litres per minute.
z Compact control unit with low decibel rating.
z Tank pre-fitted with integral filtration, overflow siphon and inlet calmer.
z An automated supply of filtered rainwater that switches to main water supply should the tank run empty during periods of low rainfall.
z Ideal for new build properties and homes with up to 6 bedrooms.
z Option to run from a battery back up DC power supply if the system power fails then water supply is maintained.
